Persistent hyperlactatemia in decompensated type I diabetes with hepatic glycogenosis and hepatomegaly: Mauriac syndrome: a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWe describe a case of Mauriac syndrome, which is a rare complication of poorly controlled type I diabetes that combines glycogenosis, hepatomegaly, growth retardation with a Cushingoid appearance that is most often present in children but also in young adults. Here we also describe another finding with this syndrome, which is hyperlactatemia. CASE PRESENTATION: The case is of a 16-year-old female of North African ethnicity with history of poorly controlled type I diabetes who was brought to the emergency department for dyspnea and tachycardia, treated initially for diabetic ketoacidosis. Her persistent hyperlactatemia helped to reveal a more subtle condition known as Mauriac syndrome after multiple examinations and follow-up.
conclusionsThis case reports shows that Mauriac syndrome is a rare condition that should be considered in a setting of poorly controlled type I diabetes, hepatomegaly, Cushingoid appearance, and hyperlactatemia. The current treatment of this condition is a strict control of blood glucose levels with an attempt to achieve an acceptable glycated hemoglobin value.
